Sedimentary my dear Watson - The Case of the Studley Silt, April 2011

Conducted my first interviews today with Michael Ridsdale (Head of Landscape) and Alexa Morton (Head of Tourist Experience). I felt it was important to speak to the staff to learn about the project from different perspectives in order to learn of the considerations which had to be taken during the project in order to preserve the landscape whilst also maximising tourist experience.

I also conducted a brief walk of the National Trust site. Having visited the place countless times when I was growing up, I know Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal fairly well but looking at it from a geographical perspective was an entirely different experience – you don’t really tend to think about the flow of rainwater down a slope when you are enjoying a walk with your family!
